Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Fritz Heider's attribution theory, when high consistency (when the behavior occurs consistently in a particular situation), high distinctiveness (when the behavior is unique to a particular situation and does not occur in other situations), and high consensus (when others also exhibit the same behavior in similar situations), a perceiver will tend to make an external attribution (i.e., attributing the behavior to external factors such as the situation or environment).
